Sounds like you're going to be busy!

You may find that other people are more willing to modify and
compile those scripts though...

It seems to me that the best idea would be that bml-rt was made
commercial (or shareware) with a much lower price. Bob should get
paid for his work by those who benefit, users shouldn't have to
pay for development tools that they aren't going to use.

There are lots of good animators who don't know one end of a
computer from another, let alone know how to program, and more and
more will be using CGI in the near future. I'm sure "Toy Story"
will have a big effect, being the first mainstream example of "real"
animation using digital tools.
